The Superintendent of Quincy Community Schools has resigned from his position.

According to WWMT, Superintendent Craig Artist submitted his letter of retirement Monday night to the Quincy Board of Education. This comes in the wake of an investigation by the Branch County Sheriff's Department and the School District into allegations of criminal sexual conduct charges against former teacher Jason Ferrell how the school district handled some reports of misconduct that involved Ferrell.

In May, the Quincy School Board put Artist along with Quincy High School Principal David Spalding on paid administrative leave while the School District and the Sheriff's Department conducted their investigations.

That investigation was handed over officially by the Sheriff's Department to the Branch County Prosecutor's Office on Monday. It was also confirmed by the Sheriff's Department that the Quincy School District Business Manager and Human Resources Director Cheryl Globke (globe-KEY) was named as a third person in their investigation.

It was confirmed by the Sheriff's Department that Globke is a relative of Ferrell.
